Notes
Always let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check for medium-rare; aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C).
Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain their juices.
For extra tenderness, consider resting the filet at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
Add a knob of butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking for a richer flavor.
Serve with sides like garlic mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus for a complete meal.
